hearts-not a reply to the recent drama I have seen :)

Good evening ladies!!Im not sure if I am asking this in the right place, but this is where I do the most interacting so I will ask it here

I've been seeing all these post on "hearts" and I know what they are, how to give, etc. What I don't get is the levels. I couldn't find a thread on it, but I was wondering the levels and X amounts of hearts bumps you up. I am not being a smart elic, just a honest question I have been wondering

I even questioned the Mods once and I was told it was done through Lithium (down at the bottom of page it says powered by Lithium) which is some type of forum software company. Lithium is like the Wizard of Oz, all-powerful, all-knowing, mysterious, behind the curtain sentient being that hands out status titles whenever it desires. Maybe one day in the life hereafter, I will be able to contemplate their meaning.
